| Description | Long body, right foreleg raised. Not particularly well-modelled. Long tail with central kink, decorated along the back with herringbone incisions. Tall, upstanding mane with decorated vertical incisions. Rather long, cylindrical head with detailed eyes (large eyes, central pupil, incised around top edge with eyelashes, wide-eyed appearance). Rather blunt nose with nostrils and central groove for mouth on the tip. Upright, pointed ears, left smaller than right. Raised moulding in a band across head in front of ears decorated with parallel incisions. Rather clumsy but effective piece. |
